'This picture was drawn on the train, busstop, bus itself, after midnight and finished when dying of the flue'

_{No lies there, I'm sick, and god I wish I had something called 'TIME'. Damn you last year of college. I also needed something simple and quick to make, since I haven't made/practiced for myself for months. Childrensbook illustrations all the way @ college, but atm I'm getting sick of it. And I need the practice if I want to end my commission for the winner of my contest succesfully ;___;.}

The picture was based on a painting I made for my creative therapy class, so it pretty much means alot to me, I could let go alot of bad feelings in this work, I feel better now. The picture also tells you what 'Black Lotus' is, but for now I'm not going into that any deeper, since I don't have time for that personal project.

Lan Driade (yes, my OC actual name is lan, I should stop calling her lannie, which is just the cutified version of her name)

Things I like:
-The color scheme
-The verticalness
-The composition (except for the purple scarf wich ruins the balance, must erase it later)

Things I dislike:
-Her back (I tried to stylize her, making her very long and slender, but it came out the wrong way)
- The perspective (legs are not in the same perspective as boobs, that was done intentionally, but it failed to give any extra to the drawing)
- Wonky lineart and sword
